The Fauci Phenomenon
Dr. Anthony Fauci is everywhere. You can’t turn on a news show without his presence gracing the screen and being asked to predict the future.

A “travesty” is defined as a “perversion,” or “distortion,” or even, “farce.” The phrase, “travesty of justice” is often over-used. When anybody doesn’t get what they want, they are heard to say that their loss was a “travesty of justice.” When the diner has run out of the raisin toast you wanted on your sandwich, that’s … Continue reading Signifying Nothing

After all, they are the defending champs and they have Patrick Mahomes, maybe the most spectacular playmaker in football. Then again, what about Tampa Bay?

Welcome Back, Howard
Among the many changes in my life occasioned by Donaldissimo, was a drastic revision in my radio listening habits. During my life B.D. (Before Donald), every time I got into the car, my satellite radio went straight to Howard Stern. I loved it. I started my attachment to him and Robin and Fred and BaBaBooey … Continue reading Welcome Back, Howard
